This lens is a "always on the camera" lens - it's wide enough for taking pics of landscapes, groups of people and you can go rather close with it too - it's my new Allrounder --- on my 5DII I can work undercover because it is so so unspectacular - which works for me!
Pros:
  • very compact - good usage for street photography - f 2.8 is fully usable but best results with f5.6
  • autofocus is quick,exact and nearly quiet
Cons:
  • Build is far away from L but much better than the 1.8/50 II
  • so it's good enough for normal usage

Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM - Full Format Review / Test Report

Canon is the only major Japanese camera manufacturer who has been shy of entering the mirrorless market (as of the time of this review). So far their reps always argued that it is possible to design smallish APS-C DSLRs that are also able to compete on the size and weight side.
